My Uncle Gilbert
I was five, when last I saw you. My memory of you is of being tossed up in the air by you. I felt a little scared and safe, at the same time, because I knew you’d catch me.
I remember seeing Abuela faint when she was told that you were gone. I saw Mom breakdown sobbing over the loss of her big brother.
I often wonder how our family would be, had you walked back through the door of Abuela’s railroad apartment. But, you came back in a box instead. We all love and miss you. Mimi

do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
